2 bodies found in northwest Georgia county

DALTON, Ga. (AP) - Sheriff's officials in northwest Georgia are investigating after two bodies were found at a home.

Whitfield County Sheriff Scott Chitwood tells The Associated Press that neighbors reported the bodies, and officers found a man and a woman dead at a home in a subdivision shortly after 7 a.m. Thursday.

He said one body was found inside the home, and the other was in a small pool house at the residence.

Chitwood says it's too early to tell how they were killed, but said that investigators "are leaning to a double homicide."

The sheriff said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called to assist, and search warrants are being obtained as part of the investigation.
